Package: vim-common
Version: 2:7.2.000-1
Severity: minor
NEWS.Debian.gz describes that you removed file type detection in
debian.vim with good rationale. (A bit of reading debian.vim told me
what to do on my ~/.vimrc)
Since you did this, I think it is good idea to add reactivation method in
README.Debian. How about adding following:
File type plugin disabled by default
------------------------------------
Filetype plugins are no longer enabled by default in order to enable user to
make changes to Vim's behavior such as loading of the default menus without
problem.
You can enable them with "filetype indent on" in command mode or automatically
enabling them at the start of Vim by adding following code snippet in the end
of ~/.vimrc or /etc/vim/vimrc.
if has("autocmd")
" Enabled file type detection
" Use the default filetype settings. If you also want to load indent files
" to automatically do language-dependent indenting add 'indent' as well.
filetype plugin on
endif " has ("autocmd")
